Summary - 5 FLAT 2 MERCERS ROW NORTHAMPTON NN1 2QL
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful one-bedroom with generous living space and central location near All Saints Church.
Spacious 624 sq ft one-bedroom second-floor apartment
Period features: high ceilings and decorative fireplaces
Overlooks All Saints Church in Cultural Quarter
Leasehold with 105 years remaining; £250 ground rent
Electric main fuel; heating via room heaters only
Area has very high crime and is very deprived
This generous one-bedroom second floor apartment sits in Northampton’s historic Cultural Quarter, directly overlooking All Saints Church. High ceilings, decorative cast-iron fireplaces and period detailing give the home clear character, while a spacious kitchen/diner and bright living room provide practical, flexible space for day-to-day living.
At around 624 sq ft with 105 years remaining on the lease, the property suits a first-time buyer seeking period appeal or an investor targeting central location rental demand. The apartment is sold leasehold with a modest ground rent of £250 and offers straightforward, city-centre living close to shops, transport links and local amenities.
Buyers should note material practicalities: heating is by electric room heaters, the property relies on electricity as the main fuel, and walls have average thermal performance. The immediate area has very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and rental profiles. Local school performance is mixed, with some nearby schools rated inadequate.
Overall this is a characterful, well-sized city apartment in a sought-after cultural location. It offers strong short-term convenience and rental potential but requires buyers to weigh area safety and energy/maintenance realities when considering purchase or letting.
